Gear and Wear
A comprehensive review of gear and clothing for the active lifestyle, run and written by an avid hiker, runner, and all around fitness junky. The aim of the Gear and Wear is to fill the gap left from the lack of complete and thorough reviews available anywhere else. As such, all products reviewed by Gear & Wear have been used extensively before being reviewed to insure only reliable information is being passed on to other consumers. Reviews can be found categorized as a piece of gear (for hiking, camping, climbing, boxing/MMA, working out or other), wear (for footwear, shirts, jackets, pants and shorts or accessories) or by their brand name. Additionally we'll also upload a review on some food to keep you fueled! We can also be found on Twitter @GearandWearBlog.
Cost: $25.99 Great for: Skiing, snowboarding, casual use or running in the winter. The good: It really contours and fits your foot the way a sock should fit. The bad: It's price is a little scary, especially since it is a smaller/lesser known company. Rating: Variety/Appearance: 7/10. You only get the option between two very dark socks, but the design is impressive. There is a lot going on with this pair of socks that really sets it apart and makes it noticeable. Feel/Comfort: 10/10. This is where Fits socks shine. It is extremely soft and warm, which makes it great for snow, and you can really feel the padding when you wear a pair. Quality/Durability: 10/10. Absolutely no complaints. You really are paying for quality with this product. Value: 10/10. The only thing that I really dislike about these socks is the lack of options they come in, which isn't really an issue since they will be covered when worn anyways. Other: 10/10. Whoever designed this sock needs a raise. The amount of times I've bought long socks and they were horribly uncomfortable because of the poor design is too high to count. There are two main things that make this sock fantastic: the heel and calf spaces. Most socks offer no change in diameter for the calf and when they get to the heel just tapers to one side and the bump is for your heel. Fits socks have a special heel space that actually fits a persons heel comfortably! As for the calf, Fits was smart enough to make the calf widen at the opening and smaller by the heel (because that's how a leg looks!). Overall: 47/50. Verdict: If you live in or frequently visit an area that snows this is a sock for you. Even wearing it for casual purposes will be worth the investment because of how great these socks fit and feel. |
About your Reviewer: Joe P.Growing up in Michigan and around the Great Lakes has made it easy to be an avid outdoors enthusiast and conservationist my whole life. I love doing anything that keeps me staying active and being outdoors. This ranges from running, lifting, climbing, hiking, camping, biking, etc. All of these hobbies of mine are things I take very seriously and love to do. Because of this, before I make any purchase for one of my passions I try to do as much research about a product as possible to insure I am getting a product that I will enjoy for years. That has led to me starting this site in hopes of helping others avoid the guess work I went through by providing honest and unbiased product reviews.
